Play your part in combating global warming with ‘Cool the Earth’
Global warming is a hot topic and with G8 members in agreement on their aim to decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 50% in 2050, it is time for everyone to start taking action. Japan chaired the conference which gave birth to the Kyoto Protocol and now they are responsible for bringing us the ‘Cool the Earth’ contest.
Organisers, the Eco Business Creation Association, are calling for ideas from around the world for decreasing CO2 emissions and halting global warming. Based on the ideas collated prototype projects will be conducted in Japan to generate models for reducing emissions. The results of these projects will be reported worldwide with the aim of encouraging further innovation towards tackling the problem of growing CO2 levels.
Grand Prize winners from abroad will be awarded a portion of travel and accommodation expenses to attend the awards ceremony in Japan and winners from Japan will be taken on an eco-tour to learn more about the latest in global warming. Special Prize winners will receive 50,000 yen (approximately $420).
Ideas must be submitted by 5th September 2007, the final results will be announced on 18th October and the Awards Ceremony will be held on December 13th, 14th or 15th at the Eco Products 2007 Exhibition in Tokyo. For more information on requirements for the contest and entry divisions see the ‘Cool the Earth’ contest website.
I am a regular reader of your article. And I am very impress with your blog upon Global Warming. Now I am also write a blog upon effects and causes of Global Warming. This blog is collection of news & reviews like the study found that global warming since 1985 has been caused neither by an increase in solar radiation nor by a decrease in the flux of galactic cosmic rays. Some researchers had also suggested that the latter might influence global warming because the rays trigger cloud formation.
